Year 2016 - Decommunisation is spreading across Ukraine. In the Lviv region, in the very heart of Bandera's territory, there is the town of Chervonohrad, famous for being the first Soviet place where a statue of Lenin was torn down. However, even 26 years later, there is a heated debate between the proponents of different ideologies. We see the opposite poles of Ukrainian society in front of us: a choir of the Russian community named The Living Memory, and a singing couple of OUN-URA nationalists called the Undefeated. What they have in common is the Chervonohrad People's House. The story is about the deep, implicit processes which actually stand behind the torn-down monuments, and about the way two parallel universes collide in the Chervonohrad People's House.
Alive and Undefeated was directed by Dariya Hirna, Marharyta Hasanova, Taisiia Kutuzova, Bohdan Kutiepov and Zhanna Ozirna.
Alive and Undefeated runs for 13min, and was released in 2016.
